Prairie Pond

Discover Prairie Pond in Duncombe

Acquired in 1988 from the Iowa Department of Transportation, this 17 acre borrow pit was created when work was underway on U.S 20.  This site is used by a variety of wildlife that is attracted to the pond for food, water, and protection. Additional reclamation work continues on the site, including the establishment of native grasses that will benefit waterfowl, songbirds, small mammals, deer, and upland game species.
